Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy/seizures/fits. Additionally, Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT also treats bipolar disorder. Epilepsy is a sudden rush of electricity in the brain. In epilepsy, the brain's electrical rhythms become imbalanced, resulting in recurrent seizures, sometimes leading to an unconscious state. Bipolar disorder is a severe brain disorder in which a person experiences extreme mood swings (variance in thinking) and frequent mood and behavioural changes.

Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT contains 'Lamotrigine' that reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Thus, Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby controlling seizures.

Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT belongs to a group of anticonvulsants or anti-epileptics used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorders. Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT contains Lamotrigine, which reduces the electrical impulses and subsequent firing of the nerve impulses that cause fits. Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT decreases the excessive and abnormal nerve activity in the brain, thereby helping in controlling seizures. It also suppresses the release of excitatory amino acid glutamate (a chemical messenger that acts as a nerve-exciting agent) in the brain, thereby preventing episodes of fits by stabilizing nerve cell's electrical activity in the brain. Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT is widely used in pediatric epilepsy because of its acceptable safety profile. Lamiace 25mg Tablet DT is not associated with any psychological or physical dependence, and there is no potential for abuse.

• A ketogenic diet (low in carbohydrates and high in fats) is recommended for children with epilepsy. This diet helps the body utilize fat instead of glucose for energy generation.
• The Atkins diet (high fat and controlled carbohydrates) is recommended for adolescents and adults.
• Rest well, and get plenty of sleep.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.
• Exercise, meditation, and yoga can help lower stress, decrease pain sensitivity, and improve coping skills.
• Prepare your living area; small changes may reduce the risk of physical injury during a seizure.
• Install an alarm or emergency device to get assistance during a seizure attack.
